BANGKOK, THAILAND -- (Marketwire) -- 12/26/12 -- World Moto, Inc. (OTCBB: FARE) (OTCQB: FARE) (Berlin: WM7) (Berlin: A1J8SY) ("World Moto" or the "Company") is pleased to announce today it has introduced a comprehensive roadmap to advance and professionalize the global motorcycle taxi industry. Changing the way the world goes around, World Moto is a global authority on the $500 billion dollar a year motorcycle taxi industry and inventor of the Moto-Meter, the world's first motorcycle taxi meter.

The roadmap defines the path to bring the global motorcycle taxi fleet to a fully reliable, accessible and integrated component of a community's critical mobility and commercial infrastructure. Motorcycle taxis in most countries today operate across a wide range of cooperative systems from fully independent and ad-hoc to loosely organized depending on country and region. The roadmap lays out a series of technologies and capabilities that will be introduced over the coming years to reshape this organically grown system into a more efficient, manageable structure for governments, communities, drivers and the public.

"The potential that the current motorcycle taxi fleets represent is enormous, and the similarities of the industry to the early days of the internet cannot be ignored," stated CTO Chris Ziomkowski. "One of the most serious problems hindering their growth at the moment is the difficulty the consumer has in finding the right driver for a given task at the right place and establishing a trusted relationship with him. Much as Amazon has professionalized the chaos that was early e-commerce on the internet, World Moto is diligently working to professionalize the mototaxis that entwine the local commerce ecosystem."

Details on the roadmap will be provided to motorcycle taxi operators and drivers, governments, and the general public over the coming months. Elements of the World Moto roadmap include:

Moto-Meter - the foundation of the structure that creates the regulatory mandate needed by operators and municipalities to ensure quality and equal accessibility independent of age, race or disability (The UN calls persons with disabilities the world's largest minority encompassing over a billion people or more than 15 percent of the world's population)

Global Mototaxi Association - the umbrella organization that provides visibility into the issues affecting mototaxi operators and offers a voice to drivers and owners in order to affect change in their communities

Yes services - the customer-centric electronic marketplace that brings drivers and patrons together to facilitate transactions within the multi-trillion-dollar local commerce ecosystem

Real Fare - the digital security environment that establishes the trust consumers need when contracting for mobility and commerce

Dash - the personal dashboard social network that allows for drivers and passengers to provide feedback and establish ratings

Circulars - the advertising revolution that gives merchants access to the billions of mototaxi users

Highlights of many of these elements are currently available at World Moto's website (www.worldmoto.com).
